Unable to separate VCR playback from Sat. Receiver input,both av2

Have a Dynex dxr24tv trying to hook up Sat receiver, VCR and DVD player. W/O DVD player, normally connect the RCA cables for Video and Audio(L & R) from Sat Rec Out #1 to VCR in Video and Audio and then the VCR Out , Video and Audio to TV in Video and Audio(1)
I used to use Channel L1 on VCR to watch Sat Receiver and play tapes
I then connected the Video and Audio outs on the DVD player to
the VCR in 2 , both Video and Audio on the front of the VCR, and play the DVD on Channel L2 on the VCR.
I called DirectV to find out how to hook upDVD player with the Dynex TV they said:Connect Svideo on DVD player to Svideo on TV and then connectthe Audio cables (L & R)on DVD player to TV in Audio #1, I thought it should have been number 2
Sat Rec out, Video and Audio to VCR in Video and Audio
VCR Out Video and Audio toTV In (2) Video and Audio
On the TV itself, when I scan thru the Input, I can access the DVD player I hooked up, and the Sat Rec, but when I hit play on VCR, it goes to the same input (AV2) as the Sat rec plays on, plays the tape for 5 seconds, goes to a blue screen than back to VCR tape again
Also, from Menu, what channel should I have the Tv On?

** in order to listen and watch your DVD,

you need to connect "Audio Output " as can either be : RCA jacks or

respective mode on Receiver corresponding the connector you have used on the back of Receiver ..There you go..Tv sound are on the Receiver as well.

What to do if you have an all snowy picture (blue screen or the TV displays unusable signal-no signal or no sync)
1 – If you are using a digital cable box or satellite receiver (make sure it’s on) and be sure your TV is set for either CH3 or CH4 (which ever you usually view it on). If you usually view it through video inputs (video1 or 2 etc.) make sure the appropriate input is selected.
If you still don’t get a signal see if you get picture using the DVD or VCR (if available) if you do than plug the satellite or Dig. Box temporarily into the place of the DVD (unplug DVD) you may have to use some A/V cables (RCA yel./red/wht like the ones on the DVD) to hook to the tv from the sat./dig. box. If you get a signal then the sat./dig box is ok. If not the Sat./dig box is not sending a signal and is either defective or needs to be rebooted (unplug wait 5 min try again).
2 – If you are using standard cable or antenna (source) if possible check that the source is good by connecting to another TV. Otherwise try running the source into a VCR and then out to the TV using video inputs (RCA yel./red/wht like the ones on the DVD) and then selecting the appropriate input. Try seeing if the VCR plays using standard CH3 (or CH4)
If the VCR plays on video input but not when connected to CH3 (CH4) then the tuner of the TV may be defective – see if you can use the VCR to change channel using the VCR remote. Be sure to vote/rate me if this helped Thanks!

The easiest way to connect the unit is via coax. You can come out of your satellite receiver via the "Out to TV" on the back of the receiver to the "In from Ant" on your DVD/VCR combo. You can then connect another coax from the "Out to TV" on the DVD/VCR combo to the "Ant/Cable" input on the back of you TV. Make sure the satellite receiver and the vcr are both modulated to the same channel, normally channel 3.

Unfortunately, you cannot use the connectors at the same time. The S-Video connector overrides the standard video connector. This is why they share common audio left/right inputs. If you could use them separately, they would each have their own set of audio inputs. (S-Video does not carry audio signals on the cable.)
I'm assuming that you are connecting your Satellite as an input to your VCR, and then your VCR to the TV via a video connection. The VCR passes the satellite signal through unless you are watching a tape, then it overrides the dish signal.
You have a few choices here:
1. You can connect the coaxial (RF) output from the VCR to the TV, and watch the satellite and VCR on channel 3 (or 4). You can then connect the DVD via S-Video, and watch it on "video". This is the simplest solution, and provides the best picture quality for the DVD (with this TV), but lower quality for the dish and VCR.
2. You can connect the DVD player via RF (if it supports that), watch the DVD on channel 3, and connect the VCR via video. This will make the DVD picture quality terrible.
3. You can replace the VCR with a combo DVD/VCR unit. You can then connect the S-Video out from the combo unit to the TV. This is a more expensive solution.
4. You can replace the TV with a model that includes more inputs. This is the most expensive solution, but will allow you to watch your DVD over component cables (very high quality) and VCR and dish over S-Video.
Ironically, the obvious choice, connecting the DVD as an input to the VCR (as a pass-through) simply WON'T WORK. The signal put out by the DVD player is "copy protected" (using a system called MacroVision) which the VCR will refuse to play, even as a pass-though.
Best of luck with this. Given that you are trying to make this all work without replacing equipment, I recommend option #1, until you decide to break down and buy a shiny new HDTV. They are coming down in price every week, but only you can decide when the time is right.
